She's been up and running for a few months now. Been putting the finishing touches on the build and equipment. I'll give it another month or so and start adding corals once I'm happy with everything and coraline starts to grow well.

Been a while since I have done anything with the tank really. Only thing I have done since these pictures is change out the skimmer to a Reef Octopus. I could never get the ASM G3 recirculating tuned in right.

I decided this week to order some new lights. I'm not happy with the Reef radiance LEDs. I've have the tank up and running for almost a year and I've had 0 coraline growth in the display. I have Coraline growing in the refugium under the 5000K LED bulbs and not where I want it. So I ordered a couple ballasts and the rest of the stuff to build a 4 x 54W T5HO fixture. I'm starting out with just 4 bulbs but plan on making the fixture large enough to accommodate 6 if I want to add. I still don't have any corals because I was waiting for Coraline to grow. I used T5s in the past on my 125 and 47 and I was happy with them, so time to go back to what I know.

The only thing I seem to be able to grow well is algae, lol. I have green film in the display a little GHA in the display and a lot of GHA and some cyano under the macro in the refugium. I need to get on a better water change schedule, just seems like I'm always busy and forget about them. I placed a Reef Cleaners order this morning as I have never really had more than a handful of astrea snails in the tank.

Once I get the algae under control I plan on starting to add some corals and a few more fish. My friend has 3 small Yellow tangs in a 90 and offered me to take one as they are starting to get too big for his tank.
